The No Fly Zone for the Denver Broncos contains two of the better corners in the league. Aqib Talib and Chris Harris Jr. have become quite the duo.

In a league that is driven by offense and the quarterback position, it is very important to have a defense that can shut down that offense. For the Denver Broncos, they have a solid defense all around. This is especially true when it comes to the secondary.

The No Fly Zone has been one of the best secondaries in the NFL the past few seasons. Players like T.J. Ward, Bradley Roby, and Darian Stewart have abilities of their own that help the secondary.

However, when you think of the No Fly Zone, there are two players that come to my mind right away. The starting corner back’s Aqib Talib and Chris Harris Jr. Both of these men display some great corner playing skills.

Both of these players could go down as the best corners to play the game. And the stats that the provide back it up in a big way. In fact, Pro Football Focus provided this incredible stat.

That is right. Aqib Talib and Chris Harris Jr. combined to allow 750 yards through the air during the regular season. How impressive is that stat? They point out that eleven individual corner backs allowed that many yards or more during the same time frame.

An incredible feat for two men who have shown us why the No Fly Zone is not to be messed with. I mean, 750 yards in a 16 game season is phenomenal. With a new defensive coordinator in Joe Woods, who was the secondary coach last season, I have no doubt that both of them could continue to climb the ladder in 2017.

The No Fly Zone is one of the best secondaries in the league and I do not see that changing anytime soon.
